Thanks guy's.

This printer is too big to send via Australia Post - the dimentions are greater than they permit, even though it's just under the 20kg limit.

I guess the thing is, I don't mind saying to people "yes, happy to freight it anywhere in the country at a cost to be sorted out when you've bought it" .. but I'm not sure how to add that cost on ? how to know that I'll be able to charge them for it, and they won't just say "but I've paid for the auction amount".

I suppose what you're saying is I could put the shipping cost as the maximum a freighting company would charge, and include the packaging, but for me that's about $200. If someone picks up, I don't want them to be scared by having to pay that $200. ?

I've had several people ask if they can organise a courier to pick it up. So in that case it'd be a packaging cost of $90 and they pay for the actual freight.

Perhaps the way I should be doing it is to put $200 postage and "discounts may apply" or something? hmm...

to be honst I just wanted pick-up, as packaging it is a bit of a pain
